Default New guy - Pittsburgh area

Hi everyone. New to the forum. Just put a deposit on a Jeep today that I found on Craig's List - picking it up Tuesday when we can transfer the title.

Here are a couple of pics from the CL ad...






It has 95K miles on it, is pretty clean overall but needs a few things like new rear brakes. Got it for $2800 - hope it was a good deal, but happy with it either way.

Looking forward to doing a lot to it. I come from the Evo/STI world so I love modding my vehicles. I don't even have this one home yet and I'm already searching for things to do

Years and years ago, I picked up a great deal from Pittsburgh! We've been married now for 33 years!

Welcome to the forum. I hope you are as pleased with your deal as I am with mine.

You aren't very far away from her old stomping grounds. She was just back up there a couple of weeks ago.
